Guest Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 (edited) I hate anybody from Europe , infact anyone who wasn't born in Detriot who lays claim to being a soul singer...........hell the next thing these UK soul people will be on Gold soul records.... footnote..just joking, but some folks on here are a little up their own arse when it comes to differentials.....

Godzilla Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Alice Russell. Can't think of anybody in Britain who can compare at present. Godz
Guest Little Miss Soul Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 How about the lovely Lynden David Hall?
Guest rachel Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Alice Russell. Can't think of anybody in Britain who can compare at present. Godz link Oh yeah, great voice, not heard a lot of her stuff but like what I have heard
Guest Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 carlean anderson fantastic voice, well worth checking out.
Guest Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 How about the lovely Lynden David Hall? link Lovely, gorgeous springs to mind and talented of course, I particularly like Do I Qualify
Soulsmith Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Have decided (in general) we are not worthy. Case to point - Ebony Alleyne. Whole Lp recorded & in the bag. Nobody now interested in releasing it. Col. ps In Love With A Stranger is my wifes fave record. Actually, thats a bit worrying.
Guest Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 carlean anderson fantastic voice, well worth checking out. link I thought she was from the US
Petebangor Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I thought she was from the US link Carlene Anderson is the daughter of someone very famous,for the life of me I can't remember who.Maybe Donald Byrd??????? The Dodger will know C'mon Rog who's her old man? I think she is uk based,she released a lot of stuff late 80's/early 90's Pete

Petebangor Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I stand corrected mate Derek link All coming back to me now. I'm pretty sure Donald Byrd is her uncle

Godzilla Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) Alice Russell. Can't think of anybody in Britain who can compare at present. Godz link Short clip below. https://www.tru-thoughts.co.uk/clips/Alice%...t%20Calling.mp3 I think that this is on Alice's solo LP as well the Quantic album "Apricot Morning" For the more adventurous Quantic is well worh checking out. His albums are a mix of soul, funk, latin, Jazz, dub and downtempo electronica. As well as Alice Russel he also uses the incredible Spanky Wilson as a guest vocalist (but she's American so not counted in this topic ) More info on Alice here: https://www.tru-thoughts.co.uk/?page=record...ease.html&id=95 You really need to see her live though. Last time I saw her with Quantic Soul Orchestra she had an audience that ranged in age from about 15 to 60 in the palm of her hand. Joss Stone doesn't hold a candle.
